If Bea Smith had another chance to talk with her deceased daughter, Debbie, what would she say?  Well, this Wentworth fan would like to think she’d express herself by writing a letter.

Author’s Note:  The words expressed in this fictional letter are the product of the writer’s imagination. No such letter has aired on the television drama Wentworth.

Dearest Daughter,

I know I failed you.  If I hadn’t, you’d still be alive.  It is a regret I’ll carry with me until the day I die, which when it happens, it’ll be here in this cage.  I wish I was the mother you deserved, a mother who was strong enough to fight back and fight to stay with you.  But I wasn’t.  I allowed your dad to knock me down both emotionally and physically.  And instead of standing up for myself, for us, I took the coward’s way and tried to kill him. And ended up in this hell hole during a time in your life when you needed me. If it wasn’t for me and my getting locked up here, that bitch Jacs wouldn’t have known about you and her bastard son Brayden Holt wouldn’t have killed you.

Baby I’m sorry, I’m so, so sorry.  If I could do it all over again, things would be different. If I could have one more moment to make you dinner or brush your hair…or just talk.  I’d give anything for that.  I’d give my own life.  I hope wherever you are that you’ve found peace.  I love you more than anything and I always will.

Love

Mum
